New Books and ARCs 3/13/15

Been a busy week for new books and ARCs because, well, some weeks are like that. But on the other hand, it’s also been an excellent week, and today’s installment is no exception. See something you’re interested in here? Let me know in the comments!

Hmm – new Tim Powers. I wonder if it will be great (Anubis Gates & Drawing of the Dark), needs a second reading (Last Call on the second reading, On Stranger Tides), impenetrable (Declare), or totally not to my taste (Expiration Date, Stress of Her Regard). Unfortunately for me, percentages and recent trend means I probably won’t love it. Well, library first, then.

@Scalzi: You seem to get a lot of books – there is a few posts like this every month, so yearly intake would something like a dozen feet of books. What do you actually do with all the books? Do you have an enormous library or do you donate them?
As for the question – Tim Powers for me, I do not know other writers… He has written some excellent books but some bad ones as well. Worth trying out.

This is a strange thing to comment, as I normally don’t pay attention to these posts but…somehow it caught my eye and I realized that one of these books was probably written by an old friend I hadn’t had contact with in around 20 years or so. (The author’s name is the same and my research seems to indicate it is the person in question). So, ummm…..thank you!
